Professional statement
Mr Michael Machesney is a distinguished consultant general and colorectal surgeon with a specialisation in colorectal cancer services. He has been practising as a consultant surgeon since 2003, with a substantial part of his career dedicated to advancing colorectal cancer care. His clinical expertise spans a wide range of procedures, including colonoscopy, endoscopy, colorectal surgery (both open and laparoscopic), hernia repair, and the treatment of conditions such as haemorrhoids, anal fissures, and gallstones.
Throughout his career, Mr Machesney has been at the forefront of innovations in colorectal surgery, particularly in adopting laparoscopic techniques and enhanced recovery pathways. During his tenure as lead clinician for colorectal cancer at Whipps Cross University Hospital NHS Trust, he established a team renowned for its early adoption of laparoscopic surgery, achieving one of the highest rates of such surgeries and the shortest hospital stays for colectomy in London.
Currently, Mr Machesney holds key leadership roles as the chair of the Colorectal Cancer Clinical Reference Group (CRG) for NHS England and the pathway director for Colorectal Cancer at London Cancer, an Integrated Cancer System (ICS).
In addition to his clinical practice, Mr Machesney has played a pivotal role in shaping colorectal cancer pathways across London. As pathway director at London Cancer, he has worked closely with various stakeholders, including commissioning bodies, patient groups, and colorectal charities, to develop and implement effective cancer care strategies. Notably, he led the commissioning and implementation of a triage straight-to-test pathway for patients with colorectal symptoms at Whipps Cross, a programme that was shortlisted for a BMJ Award in 2014.
Mr Machesney's extensive experience also includes serving as clinical director for Surgery, Critical Care, and Anaesthesia at Whipps Cross Hospital, as well as contributing to national health initiatives through his involvement in National Peer Review, CQC hospital inspections, and as a member of the Clinical Advisory Board of Bowel Cancer UK.
Mr Machesney is also available for online appointments.

Mr Machesney was friendly and reassuring regarding my hernia operation. When I had a concern I was able to contact his secretary who organised a appointment with Mr Machesney on the same day and he was able to put my mind at rest. I would definitely recommend Machesney.
